The 2020 Geospatial Maturity Index (GMI) marks the third year that PSD published its benchmarking study for GIS programs. The GMI survey is a tool for public sector organizations to measure the maturity of their GIS (geographic information system) programs and serves as a resource to guide participants in advancing their programs.

Despite these significant capacity challenges, 90 governments across North America were still able to complete the robust 88-question survey for the 2020 GMI. This report includes the announced Top 25 GIS Programs in North America for 2020, a trend analysis of the 2020 survey results, and a glance at the achievements and challenges of some of our top participants.
